For those new to handguns.

Made a few videos going over the basics of handguns and their different actions. I find my people new to firearms are not always aware and some don’t always ask.

When getting your first handgun before or after getting a rifle or shotgun, MrGunsgear Channel offers some basic tips to consider; intended use, cost, caliber, size, design, etc.




In the last century my first handgun was Colt .45 pistol because that's what showed up most on black&white WWII movies and one I could afford with lawnmower pay from dad. I would say Glock pistol are the most shown in movies/TV now.

From the Truth about Guns blog two videos; How often do you practice your draw?

A gun range that prohibits drawing from a holster is like getting a deep tissue massage with your clothes on. It’s a good experience and all, but not as good as it could be. Besides, how can a gun owner possibly train for effective armed self-defense without practicing their draw from a holster?
